Introduce Myself
[Intro]
Dark Horse
Driving While Black
Ain’t too much to it
[Verse 1]
(Ugh)
Fresh out the frying pan into the fire
Reason why you rap niggas should consider retirement
Most y’all trap niggas y’all just living a lie
Mimicking some shit you probably seen on The Wire
Like my girl Chaka Khan dawg I been through the fire
Been through the storm vacay where the weather warm
Rocking one of one shit that ain’t never been worn
Put an end to a career make you think it never was born
Playing chess moves but I never was pawn
Man y’all looking prawn in the water with sharks
As the pastor close the casket leaving final remarks
All the jokers out the deck so I’m playing my cards right (yeah)
Sticking to the script plus I’m playing my part right
Plus all my joints crack something like arthritis
Been doing this shit nigga since Palm Pilots
Plus all I see is green they thinking I’m part Irish
God like Osiris dawg I been grinding
Swear I been plotting to blow like Bin Laden
Labels should’ve been signed him but it ain’t my time yet
Rookie of the year but I’m feeling like a rhyme vet
Plus the flow is global warming bout to change the climate
Mastering my craft put my 10,000 hours in
Used to get paid eight an hour still I pulled up in the Eddie Bauer
Album ain’t even drop but it’s already fire
[interlude]
Yeah it’s like that
Livefromthecity
2019 man it’s something different
Know what I’m saying
[Chorus]
(Ugh look)
Big paper I increase my wealth (ugh)
Red wine that’s good for my health (ugh)
Wrestled with demons I ain’t I take no Ls (ugh)
Allow me to reintroduce myself (I said)
Big paper I increase my wealth
Red wine good for my health
Wrestled with demons I ain’t I take no Ls
Allow me to reintroduce myself
[Verse 2]
My name is J-O
You boys been slacking on the payroll
My timing been perfect like Seiko
First murder was the case now that case closed (look)
Many imitate but I’m the original
God Level verses sound like spirituals
It’s a miracle how these flows come together
Gets deeper than sunken treasure
Fans bugging out your shit is like citronella
P hat sitting low they think I’m Bryson Tiller (huh)
Back from the dead like Mike in Thriller
Got a pretty young thing I’m about to wife for real though
Couple critics say that I rap too much
That my shit is overrated it don’t slap that much
But I’m bridging the gap like the aqueducts
And before you pass the buck better pass the bucks
Driving While Black Records never gas them up
(I’m saying)
[Interlude]
You know what I’m saying
It’s just the intro man
Let y’all know what we coming with this time around
Ya feel me
Let me tell you again (hold up)
[Chorus]
Big paper I increase my wealth
Red wine good for my health
So bad she do that by herself
Allow me to reintroduce myself

[Verse 1]
Bet you ain’t used to this allow me to reintroduce myself
Jay to the letter maneuver well
Y’all niggas is claiming y'all shooters well
Y'all talking that shit just to boost your sales
Don’t make me send out the troops for real (what)
Send out the troops for real a lot of can’t recoup your deals
Driving While Black recruit the real you boys look like intruders
Looking like Brutus looking like Judas
I’m with Live and Lucas in the Mini Cooper
Big black truck no it ain’t no Uber
Came in blasting Blak Rapp Madusa
Purple coat on damn near fuchsia
Predicted this shit see the god damn future (future)
A lot of y'all rappers need tutors (uh)
Skip the class like I'm Bueller (uh)
Hundreds yeah they looking bluer (uh, yeah, yeah)
I stay fly like a stewardess
Your cheese be little like Stuart is
Livefromthecity produced this shit
Had to call my brother Luc for this (Luc)
Dining at places like Ruth Chris
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Shopping not knowing which shoes to pick
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Grinding until your whole crew is rich
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)
[Verse 2 Livefromthecity]
Y’all get advances in portions
Signing deals getting extorted
I’m with my shorty she gorgeous
Just took my mama to Morton’s (my mama)
I done came up on a fortune (cash)
I eat my Ramen off porcelain (bling)
Y’all getting ran by the white man (what)
I run this shit in white Forces
Don’t try to play with the forces
Real souls in my fortress
All about Benjamin’s baby
But I call the blue hundreds Corbins
This is a yacht not a boat
We sail away you just float
I got felons that be counting presidents
But they still can’t vote
[Verse 3 Lucas Akira]
JMont said Vudu the shit
So I hit you niggas with the positive vibrations
Maneuvering thru space time my mind
Musk be Elon-gated
Yada yoga veda
Dark light saber
Master of the mind (yuh)
I am born thrice
Hermes Trismegistus
Out in paradise
Morning light strikes my third eye
I.....I’m gettin used to this
Hope y’all getting used to this
Analectic flow Confucius bitch
Dining at places like Ruth Chris
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Shopping not knowing which shoes to pick
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Grinding until your whole crew is rich
Bet you ain’t used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)
Bet you ain't used to this (yeah)

No Smoke
[Chorus]
These boys don’t want no smoke, these boys don’t want no smoke (yeah)
Whole lotta capping lacking in action they just one big joke, big joke

They seemed to forget who the nicest is (yeah)
Your hearing him now known to rock a few crowds
Known to take a few crowns yeah the flow is outstanding
Whether trap beat or sampling, ya feel me
Look, while y’all was at home binge watching shows
I was on the road getting mad guap per show
Went from living next to crack homes
To supporting businesses that’s black owned (yeah)
Quit with that childish shit I’m too grown
Sonning all these rappers then I put them all group homes
I cop in full I don’t even need the coupon
But I do like saving money though
Kinda funny though but I take my shit real serious
Rey Mysterio I give it you Raw
Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the flyest of them all
They bugging out they just flies on the wall (yeah)
[Chorus]
These boys don’t want no smoke, these boys don’t want no smoke

Whole lotta rapping talking about fashion but we know they broke, they broke
[Verse 2]
Damn homie high school you was the man homie

I’m right where I’m supposed to be
Folks trying to get close to me
I’m in my bag like groceries sipping on Dos Equis
Tanning with a ocean breeze (ugh)
Passport been stamped dawg I’m overseas
Overseeing like a boss do
I see you fronting what it cost you
You just rent it for the evening we do this all season
More reason for you to join the regime
Driving While Black 1Hood is the team
This is All Star Weekend
Tried to count me out now they all start tweakin (ugh)
It’s funny how people change when they think you famous
Jay to the letter you know what the name is
Do I even have to explain it?
[Chorus]
These boys don’t want no smoke /these boys don’t want no smoke (yeah)
Whole lotta capping lacking in action they just one big joke, big joke

Bad Habits
[Verse 1 Jordan Montgomery]
Man of the house before I knew what being a man was about
Standing my ground big cousins clothes handing them down
Fight dirty always scrapped on the ground
Mom asking about raps that she found
Late for class I ain’t passing it now
Got my license I was racking up miles
Out late never answered when dialed
Going through changes stayed in denial
Lying to myself, lying to people that care about
Can’t believe I’m sharing this
The truth is embarrassing
My pride making me arrogant
These demons on me like parasites
Lord tell me am I living right
If I die today go to Hell tonight?
My story will they tell it right?
Don’t let me be a sacrifice
Glass of gin with a little ice
Don’t know how I’m getting home tonight (ugh)
In my zone tonight hungover early morning flights
Baby please call my phone tonight
Apologized about thirty times
This might be the final straw
Here to today gone tomorrow
Scars don’t disappear they scab over
Took everything and now I’m left lonely
Nowadays don’t even check for me
Lost my queen not talking chess homie
Heartbreak feel it in my chest homie
Never did I learn from decisions
Left me in this eternal prison
Too guilty for me to play victim
In a dark place need some clear vision
Loss control I need supervision
Only one life don’t get no extension
Only one life don’t get no extension
Only one life
[Chorus]
Yeah, yo
Aye yo I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Man I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Yo I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Man I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits (yeah)
[Verse 2 Treble NLS]
I got a bad habit
No I’m no crack addict
Habitual jack rabbit
Emptying wallets so haphazard
Moving this packed baggage
When life wants a kid to fall back faster
I’m just a black bastard convincing the world of my black magic
I’m convinced everyone back stabbing
So I put a razor inside of my tongue
I gotta spit til the damage is done
I been addicted to canvases boxing my demons that like to wreck havoc for fun
I like to think that I’m second to none
I like to think that without me a care in the world, I’ll get a lot of it done
I like to think I’m untouchable like I ain’t grow up around all the niggas with guns
Like I don’t reek of the struggle it’s crazy the shit that I seen niggas doing for ones
I kinda like when it’s hot, and everyone round me knows we don’t mean days in the sun
Our days are numbered by niggas who shouldn’t have bullets cause they seem to think this is fun
Destiny told me that actions can turn into habits, and I better work on my words
Everything karma let fly was only to show me how all of that shit’s for the birds
Blame it on baggage as much you want, eventually that shit needs set on the curb
You and your homies got so much to learn
Y’all been conditioned to soil it’s time to make sure that it’s firm
[Chorus]
Aye yo I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Man I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Yo I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Man I got some bad habits (yeah)
Some bad habits
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits (yeah)
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits (yeah)
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad
Got some bad habits (yeah)

Level up level up, yeah these boys can't measure up
Yeah they be on regular yet they talk so reckless
Keep it lit like Edison yeah there’s no comparison
But that be so evident yea my shit take precedence (ugh) (yeah)
Whole different residence present tense I ain’t even got to reminisce
Hella bent off of gin with a lemon twist, couple Benjamins bet I’m spending them
Restaurants get served like Wimbledon, right now I’m in my element
Make it look sexy for the internet, to be honest I ain’t really even in to that
Still fly as hell drop new merch bet it all going to sale
Met Jasiri X dawg I ain’t going to fail, do big things I don’t need no scale
Only learn lessons I don’t take no Ls
Only learn lessons I don’t take no Ls
Praying for my haters while I give them hell
Praying for my (ugh)
Pray for my haters while I
[Chorus]

My level up make you scared Boo
You seen a ghost true, I kill the most Who
Coming as close? No one
I kill shit Im Shogun I crash shit like 01
Not in bad taste, on a fast break
Watch me level up niggas mad late
Gimmie cash cake make her ass shake
On a bad day on a blind date out at Friday's on Tuesday
Get a redbox it's a blu ray rub her bootay
While the movay watching us I watch you bluff
You talking tough and do nothing
Niggas sweet like blue muffins
Don't push me like buttons DeeDee
Ask ya chick do she love me Keke
You ask the same and she keke
You might level up just to be me
Beat me, NVSV the flow just like fiji

[Verse 3 Jaybee]
Saani Mac and Jay 2 The Letter M
On another level like we chilling on Penn (the ave)
Shoutout Mario Quinn and all my niggas on the East End (aye)
Me my homies finna feast eating beats no bistro
Nigga you gonna need some cheat codes to get on my level
Gameshark
I’m the bump in the night striking fear in they heart
Insecure with they thoughts
Don’t come out after dark
Evil Season on watch
Got my back I’m watching 93 around the clock
Run Shitside every block and I’m the man in my city left and no one forgot
She said she wanna DJ and I know she a bop
Give me slop like Joe if she hungry or not
It ain’t a function unless something from Livefromthecity drop
I’m talking shit
Niggas throwing shows but they really ain’t lit if I ain’t spinning
Out in Philly but I’m still back every other weekend that’s an interstate flex nigga
Y’all can’t see me at y’all best nigga
They be upset on my Twitter
Got a bad bitch and I’m obsessed with her
Imma roll one now no fuck giver
Had to stop drinking before they killed my liver
Imma level up while you turning up
We in the club but I’m counting up
In the Hoopmobile my speakers go bump
You know what’s up
It’s Friday night and I’m on the sticks so you know niggas get buck
Bitches shake rum don’t give a fuck how you feel nigga there’s no request in this club
So shut the fuck up
Damn the verse is too long so I guess I got to shut the fuck up

The Come Up
[Verse 1]
Greatest in the city man I knew that from the jump
Greatest in the world give me about a month
No need for me to front I got the stats to back me up
I done rapped in front of legends and did shows with less than five people in attendance
I was cutting class I was slacking on attendance
Always kept my eyes focused on the mission
Took an intermission became more disciplined
Now the world listening
Still a long way to go on this unpavened road still I gotta pay the tolls
Aye these the stories that I wrote they be coming from the soul
Was on the low but everybody know
They be like
[Chorus]
Wassup aye wassup we on the come up
Hustle from sun down to the sun up
Sun up sun up sun up sun up
We on we on the come up the come up
[Verse 2]
Sometimes you headlining sometimes you opening
Sometimes you hit a lick and then you broke again
I was broke but never broken just waited on my moment
Faced all types of opponents never folded
I had the drive to keep going never slowing
The seeds that I planted still growing
My light is still glowing, the fight still goes on
And every time I hop on a track you know I goes off
Still they doze off as I get these flows off
But as long as my heart in it I’m never parting with it (yeah)
Look this song for anyone who got a dream
No matter how large it be or how small your team
It’s really not that far all you got to do reach
People used to front on me but now I’m hard to reach
Originality is something you can never teach
Bringing life into this game leaving tracks deceased
[Chorus]
Wassup aye wassup we on the come up
Hustle from sun down to the sun up
Sun up sun up sun up sun up
We on we on the come up the come up

Tried To Be Humble
[Intro]
Driving While Black
Dark Horse
Sometimes you gotta run your race
Try to take you outta your zone
Try to throw you outta your lane but the show must go on (i’m sayin’)
Just some thoughts (look)
[Verse 1]
Common haters turn to commentators
Yeah whips in hella colors dawg these ain’t no common flavors
Little stunt hit the Ace for the brunch
Write enough raps probably drop a tape every month (huh)
Niggas thought I was MIA I was down in MIA (yeah)
Eating fried rice with the Bubble Tea
At the Shore Club this ain’t the Doubletree
Forefather ain’t nobody sonning me
Dark Horse but still you can’t run with me
International copping liquor at the Duty Free
Who is he? Greatest Jordan since the number 2 and 3
Flight at 4 land at 5, you’ll need a sixth sense to bring your favorite rapper alive
Your shit was thumbs down like a game of seven up
Ate about nine rappers before 10 o’clock
Whole different appetite niggas think we rap alike
They ain’t even rapping right they don’t even write they raps (it’s facts)
Yeah don’t ask about a ghostwriter when the pen is Ghost Rider
I bring the most fire put in the the most hours and I ain’t even tired yet
Treasures in my mind dawg they shine like a diamond
You don’t fit the requirements to be in the lion's den
Been the truth but they still putting lies on him
Now how that work? (huh) (yeah)
[Chorus]
Aye look I tried to be humble still the king of the jungle
In the cold with the bubble try to stay out of trouble
Money talk make it double I ain’t ask for rebuttal
Split the ends with my brothers though we got different mothers
Aye yo I tried to be humble still the king of the jungle
In the cold with the bubble try to stay out of trouble
Money talk make it double I ain’t ask for rebuttal
Still the illest in the game bet they never recover (wassup)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, bet they never recover
Came through something light dawg I tried to be subtle
Timb boots on got to be butters
Instrumentals dawg I treat them like supper
Y’all just old Mother Hubbard not a thing in your cupboard
Yea my dawgs stay fed, talking full bred
Don’t do percentage I get my full bread
Flow in the pocket like something like pool sticks, yeah
Ruth Chris I’m dining bow to your Messiah
End your world like the Mayans these flows I even ain’t trying
Lightwork man that’s word to Live, word to Live
Stack enough paper retire when I’m 35
Show starting let the curtains rise
Doing 80 on the turnpike I ain’t never learned right
Merge right then I hit the exit
No chill we ain’t watching Netflix
I don’t wait to fall to start dressing
This ain’t Guess but I leave them guessing
I think y’all need some redirection
Perfection in the flesh perplexing by my steps
Move different, quit with all the euphemisms give it to you straight
Dark Horse running my own race
Stay at my own pace amazing like Grace
Food on my plate, yeah
And that’s really all you need to know
Let the speakers blow
[Outro]
We tried to be humble
Still the king of the jungle ya know what I’m saying
It’s easy
Live got the Lightwork
Dark Horse
Vudu Luc up next man
Driving While Black
It’s a marathon
Wassup

Still Got It
[Intro]
Yeah
Dark Horse
We already at the finish line man flag waving
It’s like a victory lap right here ya know what I’m sayin’
Thank you you still tuning in I appreciate you (ugh)
This how we do it ya know what I’m sayin’ (ugh)
[Verse 1]
Yeah
All you boys my sons like Genghis Khan
Squad always eating even during Ramadan (huh)
This is Farrakhan meets Ferragamo
Got em wondering if it's magic like Stevie on piano
My momma called said she seen on the channel (ugh)
Spitting flows ripping shows on your Sanyo (ugh)
Don't come to the lions den if you ain't Daniel (ugh)
Don't get lost in the woods if you ain't Hansel (ugh)
Don't throw stones at the castle unless you ready for battle
With your heads lined up on my mantle
I'm the bull that never ran with the cattle
Young Bull running through streets and avenues
Never too attached to a place always had to move
Back in school used to make fun of him
Throwing fisticuffs to let them know I ain't one of them
Niggas that'll run from a fight lay in bed crying at night
That's not how I was raised, I put that on my raise I'm never going to change
Driving While Black done I found my own lane
While they was gassing y'all up I was spitting that propane
Watching TV eating shrimp with the lo mein
Make the whole culture shake like earthquakes in California
Niggas going to feel my rain like Apollonia
My girl she belong in the MoMa
Working on her diploma yeah love her cause she got her own
Yeah Driving While Black Records baby I'm the owner
Had to start my own now they all want to ride along
Couple demons I had to fight alone
Ain’t want to hear me out now the mic is on (yeah)
[Chorus]
Still got it yeah I still got it
Tried to count me out but baby I still got it
Don’t listen to them rumors I promise it's just gossip
Still got it yeah I still got it (aye)
Still got it yeah I still got it
Tried to count me out but baby I still got it
Don’t listen to them rumors I promise it’s just gossip
Yeah still got it yeah I still got it (aye)
[Verse 2]
Still got it I see them they still plotting
When I have kids I’ll probably spoil them rotten
Teach about this world and how the system is toxic
Teach them how to eat good avoiding all the toxins
Leave them with some knowledge before I hit the coffin (ugh)
Planted my seeds and I watch the petals blossom
Youngin’ from the Burgh and I ain’t even signed to Rostrum
A true artist I belong with Picasso
Running with the juice like AC in the Bronco
Peyton with the Broncos back for a ring
I can do anything when I put my mind to it
Put my grind to it make the fire music
Crowd go dumb cause I rhyme stupid (huh)
Smarten up open the market up (yeah)
Make out a plan then I hit Thomas up
Started from the bottom but now we climbing up
All you amateurs I promise your time is up
Jay to the letter too ill with the rhyming stuff
My mind is like a diamond they found me the rough (ugh)
Get the most press shoutout to IntheRough (ugh)
See me at the function I’m probably in the cuts (ugh)
Sipping gin and tonic that Hendricks in the cup
Jimi Hendrix on repeat my life is so complete
Driving While Black and the rest is obsolete
[Chorus]
Still got it yeah I still got it
Tried to count me out but baby I still got it
Don’t listen to them rumors I promise it's just gossip
Still got it yeah I still got it (aye)
Still got it yeah I still got it
Tried to count me out but baby I still got it
Make profit then deposit (yeah)
Yeah still got it yeah I still got it (aye)
[Outro]
Told y’all man
It’s like a victory lap
We headed home man the flag is waving
The confetti flowing
We good
Dark Horse
Driving While Black
Just the beginning
I’m gone

haunting and beautiful, simultaneously very personal and a resonant criticism of what it's like to have to be a person in this political/historical moment. probably my fav album of 2019.
